Wireless 8P Tent

4.5 Stars

Purchased the Wireless 8 after a boat load of research. We are PA State Park campers who enjoy summer camping (to give you an idea of the weather). The tent is as advertised. It's HUGE. There is plenty of room for our two oversized cots and a small table between them. We even would have room for a chair or two depending on our set-up configuration that week -- which would be nice on rainy days. We've had it out 3 times so far and have been very pleased with it's easy set-up (it takes two, mainly because I'm 5'4" and there is no way I'd be able to connect it up at the tippy top -- even my husband who is 6'3" has to stretch) and how dry it stays during even the heavier rains. With it guy'd out properly, it also is sturdy with winds. The poles are heavy duty and I love the shark mouth bag when we fold it back up! Also - we have the footprint that also works perfectly. Why do I give it 4.5 stars?? Well, if you have to keep it fully closed up due to rain or even privacy -- the ventilation is not awesome. It quickly becomes a hot box in the sunshine. Which is odd when the tent is basically a screen, but that rain fly doesn't allow for airflow whatsoever (even with the "vent pops"). Keeping it open can be difficult if you have campers who have the even a bit of modesty concerns in a crowded campground. We found we have to strategically set it up so that we can keep it open on at least one side, but also keep privacy. Not sure how to make that situation better without losing the integrity of the full rain fly, but that's the only issue we have found. Overall, VERY pleased with this purchase.

Quality and space for everything

First use of this Wireless 8 person was in nonstop rain. The tent was easy to setup, had plenty of room for two large cots, a small table, and left space to come in and out and change without having to hunch over or step on someone's toes. The inside was dry and well ventilated despite it raining all day and night.
